"i don't see what the point is in interviewing me if you don't even know who i am, but whatever. my name is tanner sheridan and i'm twenty-two years old, you could call me a friend of the quarter club i guess, my brother ted is in the band and i've known the others for years now. yeah." "RIGHT RIGHT, SORRY. SO TELL ME A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF." "i tend to make my opinions known and i still haven't learned when to speak and when to keep quiet, even after getting in trouble for it pretty much since i was able to talk. i don't regret it. in fact, i try not to regret anything - i don't regret not having a steady job, i don't regret getting drunk and doing embarassing things, and i don't regret not regretting things. life is too short to stress over things that have already happened because it's impossible to go back and change them, you do your best to fix things or get over them, but there's no point stressing the details, big or small. in a way i believe in karma or something like it. i'm not particulary religious but i do think there's some kind of cosmic order to be kept in place, and the basic premise of righting wrongs. long story short, i know that with every action there will also be a consequence, and i prepare myself for it. i'm a conversationalist at heart, i can sit and talk to people for hours if they let me, although i do have a tendency to go off topic, which infuriates people, either something more interesting catches my eye (short attention span, don't hate) or something said will make me think of something else, and it just goes on from there. i try my best not to do it, but sometimes i still slip up. i might be a social person, but i keep my emotions more under wraps than i let out. i'm guarded i guess, but it's not normally evident, unless you're ted or my mom or i'm having a really bad day. it's not like that when i'm happy, because obviously i can't stop myself smiling and looking like a loser, but when something big happens i tend to just retire to that place inside my head, and run on autopilot." "INTERESTING! WHERE WAS IT THAT YOU SAID YOU COME FROM?" "i'll never miss an opportunity to say how amazing our parents and extended family are. my upbringing was undoubtedly a good one, the love between my mother and father was and still is obvious and always present, and in turn that reflected and rubbed off on the three of us. i'm three years younger than ted, two years older than taylor, and if i'm honest the two of them are my best friends. i was never really an academic, despite my mother's attempts to prep us all for school. of course i wasn't the dumb kid at the back of class - nearly ever teacher i ever had told me over and over that i could be top of the class if i only 'applied myself' to the work and studies, but i just couldn't force myself to stay in a corner with a book like ted was always doing. studiousness isn't in my nature and i think my parents realized that after a while, because they never pressured me into doing anything in that vein that i didn't want to, and i think in the long run that saved me from a lot of unecessary stres. the thing that always appealed to me and still does is the arts. by that i don't just mean drawing and painting, that kind of thing, but drama and theater too. i could literally spend all day in the art buildings, and sometimes i did. as far as i can tell musical talent is definitely an inherited thing within the family, because for me musical theater was one of the things i enjoyed the most about high school, it felt natural being on stage. i don't know how i managed to be involved in the school's productions and retain some degree of popularity, but i damn well enjoyed it - i always got invited to the best parties. like i said, i'm not stupid and i managed to graduate just fine, i weighed up my options and eventually decided to go to drama school - i got myself an agent and everything. i got offered a role on broadway and i dropped out of school to take it, and then everything just fell apart when my best friend was killed by a hit and run driver. i missed rehearsals for the show and they dropped me, and i was left with no prospects whatsoever. i was in a rut for a good while but my family came to the rescue and lifted me out, pointed me in the right direction. i owe them for it, especially ted." "WOW. SO WHAT IS A DAY IN THE LIFE OF YOU LIKE?" "well, a lot of the work i do is freelance so i don't have anything set in stone. i get up, have breakfast, and then i'll check my messages and my emails, call anyone i need to call, that kind of thing. what i do after that depends on what kind of thing i'm working on - if i have any design projects outstanding then i can sit down and work on those for hours and hours. on days when i'm shooting i usually don't work in the mornings and i go out to see friends, get lunch, then go to the shoot and then if i'm feeling alright afterwards i head home and head back out for a drink. sometimes i do film or tv work as an extra, but there's no telling how long you're going to be on set for those. when i have free time i like to paint, or play guitar, or watch movies, that kind of thing. oh and i never pass up the opportunity to photograph the quarter club either." "NICE. LAST QUESTION... WHY ARE YOU WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW AND WHAT DOES THE FUTURE LOOK LIKE FOR YOU?" "i'm lucky enough to be able to make money from my hobbies, maybe one of those will turn into a proper profession or maybe it won't, who knows? i'd like to get back on stage one day, but it won't be the end of the world it i don't, because i'm living each day at a time." "ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO ADD?" "why not say hi if you see me at a show? i'd love to have a chat! oh, and my brother is a hipster, just sayin'." hey there, the name's evie. i live in the gmt time zone and this is my second yep character.
